It is with great sadness that PotashCorp reported today that an accident at its Allan mine on Monday June 25 resulted in fatal injuries to one of its employees. The individual, a 28-year-old man, was working underground at the mine when the accident occurred. His name has not been released. Emergency responders were dispatched immediately but they were not able to resuscitate him.
“Our thoughts and our deepest sympathy are with the family, friends and co-workers of this young man,” said Garth Moore, President, PCS Potash. “There is nothing we place a higher priority on at our company than safety.” An investigation is being conducted by the company in cooperation with the provincial Mine Safety Unit.
